Calling British accent straight up a rare dialect had to be the biggest humiliation in English history

[@satyasankalpapanigrahi9416]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 indian english zindabad

[@agatastaniak7459]

Well, I would say in some way English based AI has been heading in such direction for a while already. So unlike American English yes one day British English might land on "rare dialects" list.

[@musicalidy6026]

Apparently, what Britain, and most of its contingent of commonwealth offspring former colonies consider "proper" English happens to be just a rare form of bastardized usage that was popularized among the upper gentry in one part of the country. At one point the accent had more in common with the currently American style. But with the introduction of this new form, it deviated and has lasted to this day. It's endearing on some level and is eloquent but for the most part is muffled and indistinct unless if you have been natively attuned to it. It's sort of like how everyone in Spain started to talk with a lispy, muddled accent because some Monarch had it way back when and everyone started to speak like it to pay respect or stay in the inner circle what have you. It's ridiculous but to them it's the [Insert title] [insert language] and everyone goes on to use it without question no matter how ludicrous it is.

[@Kat-zi2tb]

​@@musicalidy6026 That is where you are wrong. As someone who speaks the queen's English, and all my friends being international students. They made it a point that my form of English is THE most comprehensible compared to how the lower classes speak.

[@stephenmani8495]

The truth is this is now reality. I was teaching in a class in a British University (can't name it here, or I will get sued!). It was a post-graduate class, and almost all the students were international, including Chinese, Indians, many East Europeans, Italians, French, German etc. There were just a couple of English students in the class. Every class had a case or exercise, so there was lot's of group discussion in the class. Most of the time, students spoke with their respective accents in the class, but everybody understood each other all the time. And then one day, one of the few English students (who were mostly silent) spoke and made his point. Suddenly there was a stunned silence in the class! And I quickly realized this was because not one of the students understood a word of what he spoke (except for the couple of other English students!). This student was from Liverpool. Then one of the international students politely requested him to repeat what he said. Again, none of the students understood him. Then he repeated himself a third time. And then out of sheer frustration, he just said 'oh well, forget it', and gave up! But by then I had picked up what he said, and interpreted what he said for the rest of the class. That scene was remarkable for me. This was a British University sitting in the heart of London, offering a British PG degree. And yet, all the international students could converse and understand each other perfectly in English, except when the actual native English student spoke! That to me suggested English had now truly become an international language, and was no more owned by England! (although England will always get full credit for having created the language).

I know the exact situation from work camp. The Welsh boy had to repeat his speech sometimes. There were many people from every corner of Europe and they were speaking English, but sometimes didn't understand to british people.

[@michaellee3836]

This phenomenon isn't unique to English. I learned Italian, and there are still some dialects that are very tricky for me to understand, and some idiomatic speech that makes little sense to me. On the other hand, I understand other Italian learners very well. Native speakers we take a lot of things for granted, and understand a lot of things implicitly. And when they mostly speak with other native speakers, they can use a lot of idiomatic speech (or as you note, may have accents that are tricky).

This is hilarious. The British man sounds so posh. If you don't mind, I have an idea for a future comedy sketch: the British man and the French man from the previous iRabbit videos try to help a recent American purchaser of the iRabbit because the iRabbit doesn't understand the American's easy-to-understand accent. Raj returns with advice about getting an accent coach, and someone fires back that iRabbit needs the coach more.

[@jeboshifru]

Why would you presume that American accent is easy to understand? Because you're an American? :D

[@alicial4857]

​@@jeboshifru Yes, I am American. No, there are so many regional American accents that I could not have presumed that everyone knows "the American accent." Since posting my sketch idea, I have realized that accent understandability is so relative that the types of American accents that I understand best are not necessarily the types that others, even other Americans, have an easy time understanding.

[@themeiafy]

​@@jeboshifru Well, as a non-native speaker, I would say the American accent is the easiest to understand for me.

[@jeboshifru]

@@themeiafy It depends of your native surrounding, I suppose. I grew up in former Yugosavia, we watched American movies, but also a lots of British sitcoms, BBC scientific program, etc.

[@themeiafy]

@@jeboshifru Well, I didn't watch movies in English growing up, but I was taught British English at school and then spent 5 years at university listening to records in RP and British dialects. I still find the American accent more comprehensible.

As a non-native, Indian is definitely on the harder spectrum to understand as an accent. It's not bad but the people tends to speak very fast. It's MUCH more easier to understand American and (standard) British accent. The roos people don't seem to hold back their accent either but it's okay-ish. But I just can never understand the Scottish accent. Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese at least try to speak slower as they know they're doing it not exceptionally good.

British Gas pre-warns you that you are a racist before connecting you to a South African call centre where many of the operators don't fully understand standard English and speak English with accents that are strongly Bantu-influenced. This leaves the caller hesitant and fearful of making an accidental racial _faux pas_ and often unable to communicate the problem or complaint that they have called about. I suppose that British Gas wins by having cheaper workers, by looking woke and by filtering out many complaints. I've never had any such problems with Indian call centres.
